Take advantage of great coaching, heart rate and power zone setup, underwater video analysis, amazing goody bags, and some fun and exciting workouts to get in shape for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are meals included in the price of the camp? Yes and No. During our Tucson Triathlon camps, dinners will be out at authentic locally owned and operated restaurants. Tucson has an amazing cultural history and we’ve found that most campers coming from the north would rather enjoy the authentic Mexican food that Tucson has to offer, therefore, dinners in Tucson are not included in the price of the camp. Our Tucson accommodations do have refrigerators and there is a grocery store across the street from the hotel for snacks.

Does Tucson have a major airport? Yes, Tucson does have an international airport and accommodates most carriers. It is not generally any advantage to fly into Phoenix.

Is transportation provided from Tucson International Airport to the hotel? Yes; however airport pickup is only provided on the first day of the camp, between the hours of 10am and 4:30pm. Airport drop-off is only provided the last day of the camp between the hours of 11am and 5pm.

Can I ship my bike to Tucson instead of fly with it? Yes, we have worked a deal through our local sponsoring triathlon shop, Trisports.com. Trisports.com will receive your bike, build and tune it, store your box, and repack and ship after the camp for $100 plus shipping. Contact Trisports.com for details.
